This is a great lip spoiler and it looks fantastic on the Crossfire. OEM Plus has them in stock now, so get 'em while you can. I had placed an order for one a year ago but they were on back order for almost 3 months, so I gave up. By the way, OEM Plus is just down the street from me. Well, a few months ago I got the bug again and decided I wanted to take another shot at it, but they were on back order AGAIN. So I Googled the part number and found them all over the place priced as high as $135. Incidentally, it seems that in Spain you can pick these up all day long at any SEAT dealer for about $24. Anyway.....

I found a VW/Audi parts place that was just about extinct, and they showed one in stock and a price of $75. I emailed, they responded, I met the person who had been running the site until the economy darn near killed them and payed cash for their last piece.

It's on the car now and looks great....... I just haven't had time to get any decent pix of it. Maybe this weekend though.

Forum member H82BL8 has a nice write up at https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...-phat-lip.html that I used as a guide to install mine.

Not that cheap, but I bought one for $118 delivered:

SEAT CUPRA R LIP SPOILER (OEM) | eBay

It's sitting in the garage, waiting for the 'effing heat to lessen...

BTW-this is OEMplus. I spoke to them.

They must be drop shipping the item then - the ebay ad says the item is in the Bay Area, CA but OEM Plus website says they are in Laguna Hills and I've been to their facility. No matter, really, since it's the exact same part regardless. The oemplus website lists it for a couple of bucks less, but I understand shipping from there is more like $40 than the $20 you're paying through the ebay auction. Like I said, search the part number enough and you can easily pay $125 to $135 just for the part alone.

Looks like a good buy overall though, so good for you. It looks great on the car, by the way.

Did something go wrong with the install?

No harm in saying so, but no info...after numerous requests and statements that pics are coming may cost you any credibility

Sorry, Weebeeste. I installed the "Cupra R" lip with the little mods.

I like it.

The spoiler looks amazing Maxcichon. I especially like the venting.
So after shopping some of the performance shops in my area, I found a front lip spoiler
for our crossfire.....the same spoiler from XXX_fire's pics. The spoiler funny enough is from a Civic and won't empty the piggy bank costing me only $65 CAD. The fittments....
good but fabrication required to create proper mounts as spoiler has none for our crossfire, Ya duh! Anyway have a few ideas to try before mounting permanently. Will post a step by step. Should have her on tomorrow or Sunday providing no hickups and vinyl crbn or colour wrap after to complete the look. I must say though the style suits our vehicle and should look synister.

Great. Civic, huh?

I have (and hate!) a 2000 Accord. As a DD, it's OK. But, last week when i was sitting at my workbench, both cars were parked side-by-side in the driveway I noticed that the contours of the front fascia are very, very similar. I haven't measures anything yet, but with a little mod, I'll bet many Accord after market fronts would fit.

Wants to sees yours!
